Ortsteil
A village is a clustered human settlement or Residential community, community, larger than a hamlet (place), hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a Church (building), church. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Herbertingen
Herbertingen ( Swabian: ''Herberdenga'') is a municipality in the district of Sigmaringen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany. The municipality Herbertingen consists of the villages Herbertingen, Hundersingen, Marbach and Mieterkingen. Herbertingen is twinned with Saint-Paul-en-Jarez in France.

The landscape is formed by the ice masses and the meltwater of the Rhine glacier, which has been advancing from the Alps to Upper Swabia for more than 2 million years during several ice ages. The valleys of the Danube, Schwarzach and Krähenbach were carved into the molasse layers, colorful marls and glimmering fine sands, which form the core of the long hills between the valleys and their subsoil. The glacier of the penultimate, the crack ice age (200,000 to 130,000 years before today) crossed the territory of the community with repeated advances and left d ...

Ostrach
Ostrach is a municipality in the district of Sigmaringen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.

It lies on the brook of the same name, which passes through a narrow pass between the glacial moraines left by the Rhine Glacier at the end of the last ice age. The landscape is hilly and wooded. Abandoned quarries to the north and south of the village of Jettkofen have created small lakes. History The first mention of Ostrach occurs in 851.
